Right now there is nothing to warn that you have short-paid an invoice. Often, if a customer is paying dozens of invoices (which you assume to be all from a specific period) they may have actually skipped paying one or made a data entry error. As it stands right now the system will arbitrarily apply whatever amount is the last of the money and then continue to let you apply payments right down the line. It is only when you reach the end and find you are in a debit that you realize that something went awry and have to review them all and undo much of your work. I've also very often seen where they may have been a penny or a dime short and again, it will simply just short-pay the last item with no warning. In those instances, it's not much fun getting a phone call asking why there is an invoice with a 1-cent balance.
